Getting started

The BMC Defender UNIX Agent and UNIX Tool Set ( BMC Defender UTS) is a compact set of software tools that provide special syslog functions on UNIX, Linux, and z/Linux platform systems. These functions augment the native syslog capability generally found on UNIX platforms, such as monitoring streaming log files, file object existence, and syslog message encryption.

The BMC Defender UTS is lightweight and easy to install. Specific packages are included to support various UNIX platforms, including (but not limited to) Linux, z/Linux, Oracle Solaris, HPUX, and IBM AIX. You can download the packages and versions from the BMC Defender home screen. The appropriate UNIX agent program is transferred to specific UNIX platforms of interest in an organization or enterprise.

If you want to start immediately with the installation of the BMC Defender UTS, see Quick-start-for-BMC-Defender-UTS.

This space should be of interest to network managers and administrators who are responsible for installing and maintaining BMC Defender. Also, developers might be interested in using this software as a basis for larger enterprise management strategies.
